6.Forging
Heat the D2 tool steel slowly and uniformly to 700°C then more rapidly to 900-1040°C. Reheat is necessary when temperature is below 900°C.AISI D2 steel should be cooled as slowly as possible in furnace,and annealing is strongly recommended after forged.
7.Annealing
Annealing must be performed after hot working and before re-hardening. Heat at a rate not exceeding 220°C per hour to 870-900°C, and hold at temperature for 1 hour per inch (25.4mm) of maximum thickness; 2 hours minimum. Then cool slowly with the furnace at a rate not exceeding 20°C per hour to 530°C. Continue cooling to room temperature in the furnace or in air. The resultant hardness should be a maximum of 255 HBW.
8.Sress Relieving
After rough machining,AISI D2 steel should be heated throughly to 600-650°C, holding time 2 hours. Cool slowly to 500°C, then freely in air.
9.Hardening
Preheating temperature: 650-750°C.
Austenitizing temperature: 990- 1050°C, but usually 1000-1040°C.
Temperature , °C | Soaking time Min. | Hardness before tempering |
990 | 60 | approx. 63 HRC |
1010 | 45 | approx. 63 HRC |
1030 | 30 | approx. 63 HRC |
Quenching Media
• Oil (Only very simple geometries)
• Vacuum (high speed gas)
• Forced air/gas
• Martempering bath or fluidized bed at 180-500°C, then cooling in air.
10.Tempering
Temper immediately after quenching. Hold at temperature for 1 hour per inch (25.4 mm) of thickness, 2 hours minimum, then air cool to ambient temperature. The typical tempering range is 180 to 210ºC.Double tempering is recommended.

11.Application
AISI D2 is used in a wide variety of tool making applications.Use D2 for applications requiring long runs and close tolerances. Use it for tools and dies for blanking, punching, forming, cold-extruding, and other operations requiring high compressive strength and excellent wear resistance.
Typical applications includes :Cutting, punching, stamping tools, shear blades, thread rolling dies, cold extrusion dies, drawing and bending tools, flanging and straightening rolls, fine cutting tools, deep drawing tools, plastic moulds for abrasive polymers
